Cold handle stove cover lifter



May 14, 1935. G. c. REITH GOLDVHANDLE STOVE covBR LIFTER Filed April 15, 1933 j y mm a??? 7'7? egg! Patented May 14, 1935 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

My present invention relates to cold handles and more particularly to cold handles for'use as stove cover lifters.

The principal object of my invention is an improved cold handle;

Another object is an improved cold handle for stove cover lifters formed from one piece sheet material;

Other objects and novel features comprising the construction and operation of my invention will appear as the description of the same progresses.

In the drawirm illustrating the preferred embodiment of my invention;

Fig. 1 is a bottom plan view;

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof, and

Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig, 1.

Referring more in detail to the drawing, 10 indicates the handle proper which is rolled up from a sheet of metal more clearly shown in Fig. l first having been perforated with a plurality of openings l I. The perforations II are principally provided to reduce the amount of metal which comes in contact with the hands of the operator and also to provide multiple openings through which air may circulate thereby increasing the radiation factor to a higher degree than would be present in the same handle if all the metal were present.

The back of the cold handle indicated at I2 is folded up in a channel formation, better shown in Figs. 1 and 3, having the back of the channel uppermost which lends strength and firmness to the whole structure. l3 indicates the front end of the cold handle which engages with the opening in the conventional stove cover and is formed with side flanges I4 which are continuations of the channel portion I2, the uppermost portion of the channel having been flattened at I 5 to present a flat surface. The extreme front portions of the sides of the channel member l2 are turned inwardly at I6 and doubled back against the under side of the flat portion as shown at I! there- 5 i by reinforcing the engaging end of the cold handle so that the extreme end presents a double thickness.

It will be noted that due to the method of folding the metal under the surface I 5 together with 10 the side flanges developed at I4 a very rigid construction results resulting in a very light instrument which may be all formed from one single piece of sheet metal.

While I have shown and described my inven- 15 tion somewhat in detail it is to be understood that I may vary the shape and proportions of the various parts without departing from the spirit of the invention. p r

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is:

A cold handle stove cover lifter comprising in combination a cylindrical and perforated handle portion, said handle portion being partially closed at its rear end and open at the front under side, an inverted U back portion comprising a continuation of material forming the top and side portions of said handle, an engaging end portion having a flattened top formed from the top of said U back portion, the under side of said engaging portion comprising folded under reinforcing members comprising continuations of the sides of said U back portion, reinforcing vertically dis-
